Messi chooses Copa over Olympics
Barcelona's Lionel Messi won't be included in Argentina's squad for the 2016 Olympic Games but will be named in the Copa America party.
Argentina coach Gerardo Martino, formerly of Barca, confirmed in an interview with Radio La Red that Messi will be part of the Centenary Copa America, to be held in the United States this summer, but will miss the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
“Messi won't go to the Olympics because there will be a lot of competition with the main team,” Martino said, Marca reports.
